True The Quantum is a basic part of Our Observable reality. The Spiritual among us holds as true the Maxim " As above so below" Matthew 6:10. Agreed True As a corollary the Double slit experiment shows that Atoms (seemingly) know when they are being Observe and behave differently.... which has led to the idea that reality as we know it comes into Being when we Observe a thing....(Of course they are more factors involve). Once the Cat is no longer being Observed it is in Wave Form....Is it still a cat or only a Potential Cat? Atoms tend to be in the Wave Form when not being Observed.....Once Observe Atoms they then it collapse into Particle Form. The Change from Wave to Particle is the act of creation of Reality.

I don't think it is an inability to think conceptually ... well there are degrees to this and @Pioneer1 has demonstrated some level of this ability. There are two issues here; (1) he is very rigid in his thinking; and (2) he will freely formulate opinions on subjects he admittedly does not know much about where a bit more reading on the subject would help modify or even completely change a previously held. This does not make Pioneer bad or unusual -- indeed if makes him an interesting participant. Just don't ever expect him to change his position on any subject. I believe he perceives changing one's position as a weakness. 😉 As you probably know, this only applies at the quantum level and not at the level we can observe in the "real" world. Though this has not stopped new-agey-spirtualists from suggesting that it does. I think the biggest take-away from this conversation is that: Our observations do not make something “true.” The image below is pretty popular, but I'll share it to make a point. If we look at the square labelled "A" and "B" we would say they are very different shades of gray-- not even close. The "truth" is they are exactly the same color. The frst time I saw this I did not believe it to be true; I had to print it out and put the squares next to each other to be convinced. Every human sense can be tricked in this way. People say believe half of what you see Son and none of what you hear But I can’t help but be confused If it’s true please tell me dear This is why I'm cautious when dealing with social media as the pin heads behind their algorithms understand this better than anyone. People are convinced they are immune to the control of social media algorithms. If no one ever said the A and B squares were actually the same color, we would have had no incentive to check and would have happy continues with our distorted view of reality. Here is an video that does a good job of explaining the "cat" thought experiment.

We learn by sharing....each one teach one - challenging our assumptions forces us to think deeper and research more.
